After completing the installation, you can control the added broker terminals with the MacroTrader.
The Instrument list provides information about each instrument available on your platform. Each row shows the following information about the instrument:
PipV | Pip Value | Value of 1 pip or tick of 1 full lot in the base currency |
Spr | Spread | Current spread of the instrument |
Margin | Margin | Margin needed in base currency to open 1 lot |
MinPos | Minimum Position Size | Smallest position size for opening a position in the instrument |
By checking/unchecking the box next to each instrument, you can enable or disable an instrument to be displayed in the Strategies tab. If you already know the markets you will be trading with your broker, we strongly recommend, to delist all other instruments. This will speed up the process of creating new strategies.
Pro Tip: The ‘Block’ button allows you to close all chart windows on your broker terminal except the chart with the MacroTraderEA attached. Use this function to clear your terminal from all unnecessary EAs.
